Question

2. The speed of truck is 39 m/s. How long does it take for the truck to travel 9,000 m?

Answer 1

`\boxed {\tt 230.769231 \ seconds}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Time can be found by dividing the distance by the speed.

`t=(d)/(s)`

The distance is 9,000 meters and the speed is 39 meters per second.

`d= 9,000 \ s\\s=39 \ m/s`

Substitute the values into the formula.

`t=(9,000 \ m)/(39 \ m/s)`

Divide. Note that the meters, or "m" will cancel out.

`t=(9,000)/(39 \ s)`

`t=230.769231 \ s`

It takes 230.769231 seconds for the truck to travel 9,000 meters at 39 meters per second.
